Eclipse Phase is set in the future, but in a time that is closer than we want to believe.Â Earth has been destroyed and humanity stands on the cusp of a new age where humankind has merged with technology.Â This new transhumanity has colonized Mars and the solar system, though it remains divided between repressive hypercorp-backed regimes and techno-anarchist strongholds.Â Biotechnology allows humans to repair or replace their bodies, while artiï¬cial intelligence has grown to staggering levels with cognitive science and nanotechnology, making uploading the human mind possible.Â Transferring the mind digitally across great distances is now the preferred means of travel.

What horrors await us in the deep empty chill of space?Â What choices will we make in order to survive?
